The North Shelby Library will be keeping a Pride Month display in its children’s section after its board Monday voted that the display was “not age-inappropriate.”

At issue was a display of several children’s books with LGBTQ themes, along with the card, “Take Pride in Reading.”

In a statement, Etheredge said the library “has displays in our departments for major holidays and recognition months.” . “The issue at hand today is about displays of books made available for children, children who are learning primary colors, not necessarily political connotations for a rainbow.”“All we’re asking for is: Why do we need a special display?” minister Micheal Tribble asked, according to that report.
